Re: Coupe Midpipe on G35 Sedan
Not to worry about it, IQ9. I wasn't pointing the finger at anyone in particular; thank you for your post about the Z-car garage midpipe; however, when I went to the Web site (if you even call it that), all I saw was the logo "Z-car garage" with no information other than an address and phone number, so I ignored it...I'm so used to e-business these days ;-)
Besides, I wanted to go with the exact "G35 Coupe midpipe" which everyone else had been talking about for their G35 Sedans; I purchased my Coupe midpipe from www.PerformanceNissanParts.com. I think they call it the "G35 Sedan High Flow Midpipe" but I confirmed it with them that it is in fact the "Coupe Midpipe." Sure enough, it came in a Nissan box and the pipe itself is stamped "Nissan." I wonder if it's also used on the 350Z??? Again, it bolted up exactly; there were just a couple things that just barely touched it (and I didn't want it to cause a rattle), but they figured it out. It's on now, and it sounds great!

Sorry, never said anything because it wasn't a big deal. As far as the heat shield goes. I thought about removing it but decided to leave it. Isn't a driveshaft bearing right there? I think I reasoned that I didn't want the extra heat from the exhaust to bake the bearing grease.

The Z Car Garage pipe is the factory mid pipe from the Coupes and Zs. Mine is off the 350 that sits next to my car in our garage=)

Yes, the driveshaft is there, but I don't remember seeing the actual bearing and grease; I'll have to look. If so, maybe I will put the heat shield back on myself (if I can get under there somehow...I don't have any jackstands). Anyone else know if that heat shield is needed under there? Thanks.

Re: Coupe Midpipe on G35 Sedan
You might want to check the pipe length. The 350Z is shorter than the G's, about 4 inches. I have the 350Z but did not use it. Its still sitting in the garage.
It would work if you get a shop to extend it or buy the extention but I believe the diameter in the extention will be large.
